A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Degree Candidates, Families, and Friends:
On behalf of the faculty and members of the Boards of Governance, I
invite you to join us at the Babson College Commencement on Saturday,
May 19, 2018.
Commencement is a wonderful day of celebration not only for graduates,
but for the parents, families, and friends who have encouraged, supported,
and believed in the Class of 2018. Our graduates have committed to living
and learning entrepreneurially during their time at Babson and have worked
diligently to earn their degrees. Now, they are prepared to take the next step
in their life’s journey.
At Babson, we are focused on preparing Entrepreneurs of All Kinds to lead in
a new way, creating social and economic value simultaneously, and, in doing
so, transforming lives, businesses, and communities for the better. We are
proud of the many accomplishments our students have already achieved,
and we are confident that their Babson experience will allow them to pursue
their dreams and achieve their goals.
Please reference this booklet to help you fully enjoy our Commencement
ceremony, and again, my heartfelt congratulations to the newest alumni of
Babson College. We look forward to the positive impact the Class of 2018
will make on our world as entrepreneurial leaders who create economic
and social value everywhere.
Sincerely,
Kerry Healey
President
1G E N E R A L I N F O R M AT I O N
Congratulations to degree candidates and their families for reaching this major
milestone. We recommend that degree candidates and their guests read the
important Commencement-related information in this booklet.
It has been prepared in an effort to anticipate as many questions as possible. We
welcome your inquiries, as well as other questions as they arise (see Important
Contact Information, page 11). Please see the diagram on page 23 for an overview
of the tent setup.

two hours.
More than 5,000 guests will attend this event. Family and guests with tickets
who are attending the undergraduate ceremony should be seated by 9:30 a.m.

Organizing a procession of approximately 500 degree recipients takes at least

walkway beside the turf field. The order of the procession is as follows: chief
marshal, members of governance, faculty and staff, valedictorian, academic
honors program graduates, graduating seniors, and the platform party.
The formal ceremony begins when all members of the platform party have

6S U S TA I N A B I L I T Y AT C O M M E N C E M E N T
Babson’s initiatives in sustainability bring Entrepreneurial Thought & Action®
to the forefront of global energy and environmental issues. We began our
energy-efficiency efforts more than 20 years ago, and, today, the College is a
leader in the field of corporate social entrepreneurship and environmental
sustainability.
We are excited to share the following ways that we practice sustainability
at Commencement:
• All degree candidates will be wearing caps and gowns made from 100
percent post-consumer, recycled plastic bottles. The fabric is spun from
molten plastic pellets, and it takes about 23 bottles to make each gown.
• Babson diplomas are printed on cotton parchment, which is 100 percent
cotton rag paper made from recovered tree-free fibers through cotton
ginning waste and textile cuttings. The manufacturing plant is located
in Massachusetts.
• Every attempt is made to use recycled paper for our printed programs,
tickets, booklets, and other materials.
• We have greatly decreased our paper usage by using e-communications
for the majority of our communications regarding Commencement.
• The plastic cups are recyclable in the blue bins. Napkins, plates, and
cutlery should be disposed of in the trash bin.
• We offer recyclable cups at water stations around the Commencement
tent to decrease the number of water bottles.
TICKETS
Tickets are required for ALL guests to gain entry to the Commencement tent.
For Commencement 2018, each degree candidate will receive eight tickets
for guest seating under the tent. For guaranteed seating under the tent, ticket
holders must be at the Commencement tent on the Upper Athletic Fields
by 9:50 a.m.
Tickets are to be picked up by prospective graduates beginning Wednesday,
May 9, through Friday, May 11, and Monday, May 14, through Friday, May 18, in
7Cruickshank Alumni Hall. Candidates are welcome to bring as many guests
as they wish to view the exercises from outside the tent or inside the Carling-
Sorenson Theater via live broadcast. There is ample room, and we have found
that many people enjoy the freedom these options allow.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Personalized announcements/formal invitations may be purchased online by
our vendor, Balfour, at www.balfour.com or by calling 877-225-3687.
When purchasing, be sure you order announcements for the appropriate
ceremony (undergraduate versus graduate). Allow three weeks for delivery.
Students can download a template invitation letter for their international
guests at www.babson.edu/isss.
Please note: Announcements are not considered tickets and will not permit
entry to the tent.
W E AT H E R I N F O R M AT I O N
Commencement will be held under the tent, rain or shine, in order to
accommodate a larger audience. Since New England weather can vary in
May, we ask our guests to dress appropriately for the conditions. Candidates
and guests must provide their own umbrellas and raincoats. Participants
and guests should come prepared if inclement weather is expected on
Commencement day.
IMPORTANT: In the event of extremely severe weather, the tent walls may
be put in place, prohibiting good visibility from outside the tent. Again, each
candidate will be given eight tickets for guest seating under the tent.
Regardless of weather conditions, Babson will provide a live broadcast of the
ceremony in the Carling-Sorenson Theater for guests. In addition, those
who cannot be with us in person can view the ceremony online. Please
visit www.babson.edu/commencement for more information.
In the event of an extreme weather emergency, please refer to our
website or the Babson College Information Line, 781-239-INFO (4636),
for detailed information.
8COMMENCEMENT CLEARANCE PROCESS (CCP)
AND ACADEMIC REGALIA
In order to participate in Commencement, all degree candidates must log
into the Babson Student Hub, where there will be a designated portlet for the
Commencement Clearance Process. Here, candidates will view and complete
the requirements necessary to pick up their cap and gown and participate
in the ceremony, such as fulfilling financial obligations, completing surveys,
and returning laptops. This site will be available to degree candidates
approximately two weeks before Commencement.
Caps, gowns, and tassels are furnished by the College at no charge to
graduates and may be kept as souvenirs of this memorable occasion.
Regalia will be available at the bookstore the week of May 14, Monday
through Friday. Please check the campus store website for hours of operation
at campusstore.babson.edu.
IMPORTANT: Candidates cannot pick up their regalia until all
requirements have been fulfilled through the Commencement
Clearance Process.
COMMENCEMENT HONORS/
ACADEMIC HONORS PROGRAM
The undergraduate academic honors in the Commencement program are
based on averages at the end of the student’s last semester. Summa cum laude
is signified by a gold tassel; magna cum laude is signified by a white tassel; and
cum laude is signified by a red tassel. The cumulative grade point average is
calculated upon completion of all degree requirements.
• Cum laude–3.30 to 3.49 cumulative grade point average
• Magna cum laude–3.50 to 3.74 cumulative grade point average
• Summa cum laude–3.75 to 4.0 cumulative grade point average
The valedictorian honor is awarded to the student with the highest academic
rank in the Class of 2018, which includes graduates from August/December
2017, in addition to the current May 2018 graduates. This person has the honor
of leading the graduates in the academic procession and is the first to receive a
diploma. The valedictorian wears a gold cord.
9The Honors Program offers enhanced curricular and cocurricular opportunities
to academically accomplished students. The centerpiece of the program is the
Honors Project. For two semesters, students work closely with a faculty adviser
to engage in independent research in an area of their choosing. The resulting
project is an original scholarly contribution to the student’s field of inquiry.
Students who fulfill all of the requirements of the Honors Program receive
a degree with honors, which constitutes the highest academic distinction
awarded by the College to graduating seniors. The Honors Program students
wear a bronze medallion.
